Chennai, June 24 (IANS) Director P S Mithran on Wednesday announced that his eagerly-awaited spy thriller ‘Sardar 2’, featuring actor Karthi in the lead, will now hit screens worldwide on September 10 this year.

“Only another five to 10 percent of the film is left. Yes, dubbing is also happening simultaneously,” he had informed on the sidelines of an event organised to launch the prologue of the film.

While announcing the sequel to Sardar, the makers released a promo that showed Karthi’s character being sent as a spy to Cambodia. When asked if whether the story indeed moves to Cambodia or whether it takes place in China, Mithran had said, “Initially, the story goes to Cambodia and then shifts to China.”

A prologue released by the makers last year gave away the fact that actor S J Suryah plays the main antagonist in the film and that his character is called Black Dagger.

On the technical front, Sardar 2 has cinematography by George Williams and music by Sam C S. Editing for the film is by Ruben and Art direction is by K Kadhir. Stunts for the film have been choreographed by Dhilip Subbarayan and the story for the sequel has been written by M R Pon Parthipan, Roju Bipin Ragu and Geevee.
